Ghana mining lease and eviction disputes

Overview

Mining enterprises in Ghana are facing legal and regulatory challenges regarding their concessions and operational rights.

In the Talensi District of the Upper East Region, the Nalamtaaba Mining Enterprise has appealed to the Minerals Commission to rescind an eviction and shutdown order for its 25-acre gold extraction concession. Stakeholders and employees argue the directive threatens the livelihoods of over one thousand people.

Separately, the Minerals Commission has denied allegations from Narawa Company Limited that its mining leases for the Nsutam and Osiem concessions were unlawfully terminated. The Commission maintains the termination was due to unpaid annual mineral right fees totaling USD 909,127. While the Commission asserts the rights have reverted to the State, Narawa Company Limited has initiated arbitration proceedings and alleged that other entities have prevented them from accessing their offices and concessions.
